QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT OUR RESCISSION OFFER
Q: Why are we making the rescission offer?
A: We are offering to repurchase up to 16,361 shares of our common stock from persons who purchased those shares from our 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, which we refer to as our “ESPP,” that may not have been exempt from registration or qualification under federal and state securities laws. This offer is being made to persons that purchased common stock from our ESPP on June 30, 2005, which we refer to as the “Offering Date.” The rescission offer is intended to address federal and state securities law compliance issues by allowing holders of shares covered by the rescission offer to sell those securities back to us.
Q: What will I receive if I accept the rescission offer?
A: The answer to this question depends on whether you still hold the shares of common stock purchased from the ESPP subject to this rescission offer.
Q: Can you give me an example of what I will receive if I accept the rescission offer?
A: If you accept our rescission offer with respect to the common stock you purchased pursuant to the ESPP, we will repurchase the shares you hold that are subject to the rescission offer at the price per share you paid, plus interest at the current statutory rate per year, from the date of purchase through the date the rescission offer expires. Interest will accrue on a monthly basis. The legal rates of interest for the repurchase of shares will be based on your state of residence when you purchased your shares. These rates are as follows:
State (Interest Rate):


Arizona (10%)
Connecticut (6%)
Mississippi (6%)
Nevada (12%)
Tennessee (10%)
Texas (8%)
Utah (12%)

For example, if you were a resident of Texas at the time you purchased the securities subject to the rescission offer and hold 100 shares of our common stock that are subject to the rescission offer that you purchased on June 30, 2005 at a per share price of $18.38 and you accept our rescission offer, assuming the rescission offer expires on November 30, 2006, you would receive:
•The original purchase price (100 x $18.38) = $1,838.00
•Plus 18 months of interest at 8% per year ($1,838 x 0.08 x 1.5) = $220.56
•For a total of $2,058.56.
You will not have any right, title or interest to the shares of common stock you will be surrendering upon the closing of the rescission offer, and you will only be entitled to receive the proceeds from our repurchase of your common stock.
ii

If you sold the shares at a loss, and accept our rescission offer, we will pay an amount equal to the initial price paid per share, less the proceeds from the sale of such shares, plus interest at the current statutory rate per year based on your state of residence when you purchased your shares. Interest will be paid on (i) the amount originally paid for the shares from the date of purchase until the date of sale, and (ii) on the loss realized from the date of sale through the date the rescission offer expires. Interest will accrue on a monthly basis. As an example, assuming the rescission offer expires on November 30, 2006, if you purchased 100 shares of our common stock from our ESPP on June 30, 2005 at a per share price of $18.38, subsequently sold those shares on October 31, 2005 for $17.38 per share, and you accept our rescission offer, you would receive:
•The original purchase price (100 x $18.38) = $1,838.00
•Minus proceeds of the October 31, 2005 sale (100 x $17.38) = $1,738.00
•Plus interest for 4 months calculated at 8% per year on $ ($1,838.00 x 0.08 x 0.333) = $48.96
•Plus interest for 14 months at 8% per year on $100.00 loss from the October 31, 2005 sale ($100 x 0.08 x 1.167) = $9.34
•For a total of $158.30.
Q: Does the current market price affect my decision?
A: Yes, if you continue to hold shares subject to the rescission offer, our current market price as quoted on Nasdaq will affect the economics of your decision to accept or reject this rescission offer. The rescission offer is $18.38 per share for shares purchased on June 30, 2005. On October [___], 2006, the last reported sale price for our common stock on Nasdaq was $[___] per share. Accordingly, for those that continue to hold shares purchased from our ESPP at the Offering Date, selling their shares into the market will yield a higher return than accepting this rescission offer. For those that previously sold shares subject to this rescission offer at a loss, the current market price of the Company shares on Nasdaq will not affect your decision to accept or reject this rescission offer.
Q: What if I already sold some or all of my shares subject to the rescission offer?
A: If you have since sold some or all of your shares subject to the rescission offer, you will still be entitled to receive the full amount that you paid for those shares plus interest on such amount at the applicable annual state interest rate, but less any amounts you previously received when you sold those shares. If you have already received more for those shares than you would otherwise be entitled to under the rescission offer, you will not be entitled to receive any payment under the rescission offer.
Q: Have any officers, directors or five percent stockholders advised TCBI whether they will participate in the rescission offer?
A: None of our officers or directors is eligible to participate in this offer.
Q: If I do not accept the offer now, can I sell my shares?
A: If you do not accept the rescission offer, you can sell the shares of common stock you hold that were subject to the rescission offer without limitation as to the number or manner of sale, unless you are an affiliate of TCBI within the meaning of Rule 144 or Rule 145 or you are subject to TCBI Insider Trading Policy requirements or any other transfer restrictions entered into with respect to your shares.
Q: What do I need to do now to accept or reject the rescission offer?
A: To accept or reject the rescission offer, you must complete and sign the accompanying Rescission Election Form and return it to Texas Capital Bancshares, to the attention of Ms. Lynett Rogers, 2100 McKinney Avenue, Suite 900, Dallas, Texas 75201, as soon as practical but in no event later than [           ],
 iii

2006 (thirty days after the date this offering commences). If you are accepting the rescission offer, please also return your stock certificates and a stock power representing the shares you are surrendering for repurchase. If you wish to accept the rescission offer and have already sold your shares, no stock power is necessary.
Q: Can I accept the rescission offer in part?
A: Yes, if you still own the shares that are subject to the rescission offer. Simply indicate on your election form and stock power, if applicable, the number of shares you desire TCBI to repurchase from you. You will be deemed to have rejected the rescission offer with regard to the balance of your shares. If you accept the rescission offer and have already sold the shares that are subject to the rescission offer, you will receive the full payment indicated on the accompanying election form.
Q: What happens if I do not return my rescission offer election form?
A: If you do not return a properly completed election form before the expiration date of our rescission offer, you will be deemed to have rejected our offer.
Q: What remedies or rights do I have now that I will not have after the rescission offer?
A: It is unclear whether or not you will have a right of rescission under federal securities laws after the rescission offer. The staff of the SEC is of the opinion that a person’s right of rescission created under the Securities Act of 1933 may survive the rescission offer. However, federal courts in the past have ruled that a person who rejects or fails to accept a rescission offer is precluded from later seeking similar relief. Generally, the federal statute of limitations for noncompliance with the requirement to register securities under the Securities Act of 1933 is one year from the date of the violation upon which the action to enforce liability is based.
The state remedies and statutes of limitations vary and depend upon the state in which you purchased the shares. The issuance of common stock under the ESPP was exempt in several of the states listed below. If you purchased your shares while residing in one of the states in which an exemption applied, you have no remedy under state law. The following is a summary of the statutes of limitations and the effect of the rescission offer for the states in which the shares covered by this rescission offer were sold. This summary is not complete. For additional discussion of the various state laws governing rescission rights in the respective states, see “Rescission Offer—Effect of Rescission Offer.”
Arizona: While residents of Arizona that hold shares covered by the rescission offer may have a right of rescission under federal securities laws, we believe that the common shares issued by us in the state of Arizona were issued pursuant to an exemption from registration or qualification under The Securities Act of Arizona.
Connecticut: While residents of Connecticut that hold shares covered by the rescission offer may have a right of rescission under federal securities laws, we believe that the common shares issued by us in the state of Connecticut were issued pursuant to an exemption from registration or qualification under the Connecticut Uniform Securities Act.
Mississippi: While residents of Mississippi that hold shares covered by the rescission offer may have a right of rescission under federal securities laws, we believe that the common shares issued by us in the state of Mississippi were issued pursuant to an exemption from registration or qualification under the Mississippi Securities Act.
Nevada: While residents of Nevada that hold options and shares covered by the rescission offer may have a right of rescission under federal securities laws, we believe that the options and common stock issued by us in the state of Nevada were issued pursuant to an exemption from registration or qualification under the Nevada Uniform Securities Act
 iv

Tennessee: While residents of Tennessee that hold shares covered by the rescission offer may have a right of rescission under federal securities laws, we believe that the common shares issued by us in the state of Tennessee were issued pursuant to an exemption from registration or qualification under the Tennessee Securities Act.
Texas: While residents of Texas that hold shares covered by the rescission offer may have a right of rescission under federal securities laws, we believe that the common stock issued by us in the state of Texas was issued pursuant to an exemption from registration or qualification under the Texas Securities Act.
Utah: While residents of Texas that hold shares covered by the rescission offer may have a right of rescission under federal securities laws, we believe that the common stock issued by us in the state of Texas was issued pursuant to an exemption from registration or qualification under the Utah Uniform Securities Act.
We believe that your acceptance of the rescission offer will preclude you from later seeking similar relief. Regardless of whether you accept the rescission offer, we believe that any remedies you may have after the rescission offer expires would not be greater than an amount you would receive in the rescission offer.
If you affirmatively reject or fail to accept the rescission offer, it is unclear whether or not your federal right of rescission will remain preserved. The staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission takes the position that a person’s federal right of rescission may survive the rescission offer. However, federal courts in the past have ruled that a person who rejects or fails to accept a rescission offer is precluded from later seeking similar relief. Generally, the federal statute of limitation for non-compliance with the requirement to register securities under the Securities Act is one year.
We believe all the sales of shares of our common stock which are the subject of our rescission offer were exempt from registration or qualification under state law, and thus you may not be entitled to any state law remedies. However, under state law, acceptance or rejection of our rescission offer may preclude you from maintaining an action against us in connection with the shares of common stock purchased at the Offering Dates. We do not make any representation as to the compliance of this rescission offer with applicable state law.
Q: How will the rescission offer be funded?
A: The rescission offer will be funded from our existing cash balances. If all persons eligible to participate in the rescission offer accept our offer to the full extent, our results of operations, cash balances or financial condition will not be affected materially.
Q: Can I change my mind after I have mailed my signed election form?
A: Yes. You can change your decision about accepting or rejecting our rescission offer at any time before the expiration date. You can do this by completing and submitting a new election form. Any new election forms must be received by us prior to the expiration date in order to be valid. We will not accept any election forms after the expiration date.
Q: Who can help answer my questions?
A: You can call Peter Bartholow, Chief Financial Officer, or Lynett Rogers at TCBI, at (214) 932-6600, with questions about the rescission offer.
Q: Where can I get more information about TCBI?
A: You can obtain more information about TCBI from the filings we make from time to time with the SEC. These filings are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

We have focused on organic growth of the Bank, maintenance of credit quality and bankers with strong personal and professional relationships in their communities.
We focus on serving the needs of commercial and high net-worth customers, the core of our model since our organization.

Our loan portfolio is diversified by industry, collateral and geography in Texas.

Business Customers.  We offer a full range of products and services oriented to the needs of the Texas marketplace. We decided that the most efficient method of building an independent bank was to acquire an existing bank and substantially increase the equity capitalization of that bank through private equity financing. The acquisition of an existing bank was attractive because it enabled us to avoid the substantial delay involved in chartering a new national or state bank. Our predecessor bank, Resource Bank, N.A., headquartered in Dallas, Texas, had completed the chartering process and commenced operations in October 1997. We acquired Resource Bank in December 1998.our business customers, including:
• commercial loans for general corporate purposes including financing for working capital, internal growth, acquisitions and financing for business insurance premiums;
• permanent real estate and construction loans;
• equipment leasing;
• cash management services;
• trust and escrow services; and
• letters of credit.
Individual Customers.  We also concluded that substantial equity capital was needed to enable us to compete effectively with the subsidiary banks of nationwideprovide complete banking and financial services organizations that operate in the Texas market. Accordingly, in June 1998, we commenced a private offering offor our common stock and were successful in raising approximately $80.0 million upon completion of the offering. In August 2003, we completed our initial public offering, raising $33.9 million.individual customers, including:
 We are incorporated in the State of Delaware.
• personal trust and wealth management services;
• certificates of deposit;
• interest bearing and non-interest bearing checking accounts with optional features such as Visa® debit/ATM cards and overdraft protection;
• traditional money market and savings accounts;
• consumer loans, both secured and unsecured;
• branded Visa® credit card accounts, including gold-status accounts; and

RISK FACTORS
You should carefully consider the risks described below before making an investment decision in the shares of our common stock.Common Stock. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing our company.us. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected. In that case, the trading price of our common stockCommon Stock could decline substantially, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
Risks Relatedrelated to this Rescission Offerour business
 We may continue to have potential liability even after this rescission offer is made due to our issuances of securities in violation of the federal securities laws.
     The Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), does not expressly provide that a rescission offer will terminate a purchaser’s right to rescind a sale of stock that was not registered or exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Accordingly, if you affirmatively reject or fail to accept the rescission offer, it is unclear whether or not you will have a right of rescission under Securities Act after the expiration of the rescission offer. The staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission takes the position that a person’s federal right of rescission may survive the rescission offer. However, federal courts in the past have ruled that a person who rejects or fails to accept a rescission offer is precluded from later seeking similar relief. Consequently, should any offerees reject the rescission offer, expressly or impliedly, we may continue to be potentially liable under the Securities Act for the purchase price or for certain losses if the shares have been sold. Additionally, regulatory authorities may require us to pay fines or they may impose sanctions on us, and we may face other claims by participants other than rescission claims.
We cannot predict whether the amounts you would receive in the rescission offer would be greater than the market value of our securities.
     Our common stock is actively traded on The Nasdaq National Market under the symbol “TCBI.” The amount you would receive in the rescission offer is fixed and is not tied to the market value of our common stock on The Nasdaq National Market at the time the rescission offer closes. As a result, if you accept the rescission offer, you may receive less than the market value of the securities you would be tendering to us.
If you do not accept the rescission offer, your shares, although freely tradeable, will still remain subject to limitation on resales, if any.
          If you affirmatively reject the rescission offer or fail to accept the rescission offer before the expiration of the rescission offer, your shares will be registered under the Securities Act and will be fully tradeable, subject to any applicable limitations set forth in Rule 144 or Rule 145 under the Securities Act; provided, however, that you will also remain subject to any applicable terms and conditions of any agreement under which your shares were issued or otherwise relating to your shares.
Risk Factors Associated With Our Business
We must effectively manage our credit risk.
 
There are risks inherent in making any loan, including risks with respect to the period of time over which the loan may be repaid, risks resulting from changes in economic and industry conditions, risks inherent in dealing with individual borrowers and risks resulting from uncertainties as to the future value of collateral. The risk of non-payment of loans is inherent in commercial banking. Although we attempt to minimize our credit risk by carefully monitoring the concentration of our loans within specific industries and through prudent loan application

approval procedurespractices in all categories of our lending, we cannot assure you that such monitoring and approval procedures will reduce these lending risks. We cannot assure you that our credit administration personnel, policies and procedures will adequately adapt to any new geographic markets.changes in conditions affecting customers and the quality of the loan portfolio.
 
Our results of operation and financial condition would be adversely affected if our allowance for loan losses is not sufficient to absorb actual losseslosses..
 
Experience in the banking industry indicates that a portion of our loans in all categories of our lending business will become delinquent, and some may only be partially repaid or may never be repaid at all. Our methodology for establishing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses depends on subjective application of risk grades as indicators of borrowers’ ability to repay. Deterioration in general economic conditions and unforeseen risks affecting customers may have an adverse effect on borrowers’ capacity to honor their obligations before risk grades could reflect those changing conditions. Moreover, inIn times of improving credit quality, with growth in our loan portfolio, the allowance for loan losses may decrease as a percent of total loans. A decreaseChanges in the ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loanseconomic and market conditions, such as those that have recently occurred, may increase the risk that the allowance would become inadequate if borrowers experience economic and other conditions adverse to their businesses. Maintaining the adequacy of our allowance for loan losses may require that we make significant and unanticipated increases in our provisions for loan losses, in the future, which would materially affect our results of operations. Recognizing that many of our loans individually represent a significant percentage of our total allowance for loan losses, which may have decreased as a percent of total loans, adverse collection experience in a relatively small number of loans could require an increase in our allowance. Federal regulators, as an integral part of their respective supervisory functions, periodically review our allowance for loan losses. The regulatory agencies may require us to change classifications or grades on loans, increase our provisionthe allowance for loan losses orwith large provisions for loan losses and to recognize further loan charge-offs based upon their judgments, which may be different from ours. Any increase in the allowance for loan losses required by these regulatory agencies could have a negative effect on our results of operations and financial condition. For additional descriptions of risks in the loan portfolio, the methodology for determining, and information related to, the adequacy of the reserve for loan losses, see the Summary of Loan Loss Experience section in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.Operations included in our Annual Report onForm 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2007 and our Quarterly Reports onForm 10-Q for the quarters ending March 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008, which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus.
 
The growth plans for the Bank are dependent on the availability of capital and funding.
Our reliance on trust preferred and other forms of capital, as well as other short-term sources of funding, may become limited by market conditions beyond our control. Pricing of capital, in terms of interest or


4

dividend requirements or dilutive impact on earnings available to shareholders, may increase dramatically, and an increase in costs of capital could have a direct impact on our operating performance and our ability to achieve our growth objectives. Costs of funding could also increase dramatically and affect our growth objectives, as well as our financial performance. Adverse changes in operating performance and financial condition could make capital necessary to support or maintain “well capitalized” status either difficult to obtain or extremely expensive.
Our operations are significantly affected by interest rate levelslevels..
 
Our profitability is dependent to a large extent on our net interest income, which is the difference between interest income we earn as a result of interest paid to us on loans and investments and interest we pay to third parties such as our depositors and those from whom we borrow funds. Like most financial institutions, we are affected by changes in general interest rate levels, which are currently at relatively low levels, and by other economic factors beyond our control. Interest rate risk can result from mismatches between the dollar amount of repricing or maturing assets and liabilities and from mismatches in the timing and rate at which our assets and liabilities reprice. Although we have implemented strategies which we believe reduce the potential effects of changes in interest rates on our results of operations, these strategies may not always be successful. In addition, any substantial and prolonged increase in market interest rates could reduce our customers’ desire to borrow money from us or adversely affect their ability to repay their outstanding loans by increasing their credit costs since most of our loans have adjustable interest rates that reset periodically. If our borrowers’ ability to repay is adversely affected, our level of non-performing assets would increase and the amount of interest earned on loans would decrease, thereby having an adverse effect on our operating results. Any of these events could adversely affect our results of operations or financial condition.
 
Our business faces unpredictable economic and business conditions.
 
General economic conditions and specific business conditions impact the banking industry.industry and our customers’ businesses. The credit quality of our loan portfolio necessarily reflects, among other things, the general economic conditions in the areas in which we conduct our business. Our continued financial success depends somewhat on factors beyond our control, including:
 • national and local economic conditions;
 
 • the supply and demand for investable funds;

3

 • interest rates; and
 
 • federal, state and local laws affecting these matters.
Any substantial deterioration in any of the foregoing conditions could have a material adverse effect on our results of operation and financial condition, which would likely adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Further, with the exception of our BankDirect customers, which comprised 8% of our total deposits as of December 2005, our bank’sCommon Stock. Our Bank’s customer base is primarily commercial in nature, and our bankBank does not have a significant branch network or retail deposit base. In periods of economic downturn, business and commercial deposits may tend to be more volatile than traditional retail consumer deposits and, therefore, during these periods our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected to a greater degree than our competitors that have a larger retail customer base.
 
Our recent operating results may not be indicative of our future operating results.
We may not be able to sustain our historical rate of growth. Various factors, such as competition, economic conditions, interest rates and regulatory considerations, may impede growth in our business and markets we serve.


5

We are dependent upon key personnel.
 
Our success depends to a significant extent upon the performance of certain key employees, the loss of whom could have an adverse effect on our business. Although we have entered into employment agreements with certain employees, we cannot assure you that we will be successful in retaining key employees.
 
Our business is concentrated in Texas and a downturn in the economy of Texas may adversely affect our business.
 
A substantial majority of our business is located in Texas. As a result, our financial condition and results of operations may be affected by changes in the Texas economy. A prolonged period of economic recession or other adverse economic conditions in Texas may result in an increase in non-payment of loans and a decrease in collateral value.
 
Our business strategy includes significant growth plans within our target markets and, if we fail to manage our growth effectively as we pursue our expansion strategy, it could negatively affect our operations.
 
We intend to develop our business by pursuing a significant growth strategy.strategy within our target markets. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in significant growth stages of development. In order to execute our growth strategy successfully, we must, among other things:
 • identify and expand into suitable markets and lines of business;
 
 • build our customer base;
 
 • maintain credit quality;
 
 • attract sufficient deposits to fund our anticipated loan growth;
 
 • attract and retain qualified bank management in each of our targeted markets;
 
 • identify and pursue suitable opportunities for opening new banking locations; and
 
 • maintain adequate regulatory capital.
Failure to manage our growth effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, future prospects, financial condition or results of operations, and could adversely affect our ability to successfully implement our business strategy.

We compete with many larger financial institutions which have substantially greater financial resources than we have.
 
Competition among financial institutions in Texas is intense. We compete with other financial and bank holding companies, state and national commercial banks, savings and loan associations, consumer finance companies, credit unions, securities brokerages, insurance companies, mortgage banking companies, money market mutual funds, asset-based non-bank lenders and other financial institutions. Many of these competitors have substantially greater financial resources, lending limits and larger branch networks than we do, and are able to offer a broader range of products and services than we can. Failure to compete effectively for deposit, loan and other banking customers in our markets could cause us to lose market share, slow our growth rate and may have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
 
The risks involved in commercial lending may be material.
 
We generally invest a greater proportion of our assets in commercial loans than other banking institutions of our size, and our business plan calls for continued efforts to increase our assets invested in these loans. Commercial loans generallymay involve a higher degree of credit risk than some other types of loans due, in part, to their larger average size, the effects of changing economic conditions on commercial loans, the dependency on the cash flow of the borrowers’ businesses to service debt, the sale of assets securing the loans, and disposition

of collateral which may not be readily marketable. Losses incurred on a relatively small number of commercial loans could have a materially adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition.
 
Real estate lending in our core Texas markets involves risks related to a decline in value of commercial and residential real estate.
 
Our real estate lending activities, and the exposure to fluctuations in real estate values, are significant and expected to increase.significant. The market value of real estate can fluctuate significantly in a relatively short period of time as a result of market conditions in the geographic area in which the real estate is located. If the value of the real estate serving as collateral for our loan portfolio were to decline materially, a significant part of our loan portfolio could become under-collateralized and we may not be able to realize the amount of security that we anticipated at the time of originating the loan. Conditions in certain segments of the real estate industry, including homebuilding, lot development and mortgage lending, may have an effect on values of real estate pledged as collateral in our markets. The inability of purchasers of real estate, including residential real estate, to obtain financing may weaken the financial condition of borrowers dependent on the sale or refinancing of property. Failure to sell some loans held for sale in accordance with contracted terms may result in mark to market charges to other operating income associated with assigning a value to such loans based on their correct market price. In addition, after we mark to market any such loans, we may transfer such loans into the loans held for investment portfolio where they will then be subject to changes in grade, classification, accrual status, foreclosure, or loss which could have an effect on the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.
 
Our future profitability depends, to a significant extent, upon revenue we receive from our middle market business customers and their ability to meet their loan obligations.
 
We expect that our future profitability will depend, to a significant extent, upon revenue we receive from middle market business customers, and their ability to continue to meet existing and future loan obligations. As a result, adverse economic conditions or other factors adversely affecting this market segment may have a greater adverse effect on us than on other financial institutions that have a more diversified customer base.
 
System failure or breaches of our network security could subject us to increased operating costs as well as litigation and other liabilities.
 
The computer systems and network infrastructure we use could be vulnerable to unforeseen problems. Our operations are dependent upon our ability to protect our computer equipment against damage from fire, power loss, telecommunications failure or a similar catastrophic event. Any damage or failure that causes an interruption in our operations could have an adverse effect on our customers. In addition, we must be able to protect the computer systems and network infrastructure utilized by us against physical damage, security breaches and service disruption caused by the Internet or other users. Such computer break-ins and other disruptions would jeopardize the security of information stored in and transmitted through our computer systems and network infrastructure, which may result in significant liability to us and deter potential customers. Although we, with the help of third-party service providers, will continue to implement security technology and establish operational procedures to prevent such damage, there can be no assurance that these security measures will be successful. In addition, the failure of our customers to maintain appropriate security for their systems may increase our risk of loss by exposing our computer systems and network to damage, security breaches or service disruptions. We have and will continue to incur costs training our customers about protection of their systems. However, we cannot be assured that this training will be adequate to avoid risk to our customers or to us.

We are subject to extensive government regulation and supervision.
 
We are subject to extensive federal and state regulation and supervision. Banking regulations are primarily intended to protect depositors’ funds, federal deposit insurance funds and the banking system as a whole, not shareholders. These regulations affect our lending practices, capital structure, investment practices, dividend policy, operations and growth, among other things. These regulations also impose obligations to maintain appropriate policies, procedures and controls, among other things, to detect, prevent and report money


7

laundering and terrorist financing and to verify the identities of our customers. Congress and federal regulatory agencies continually review banking laws, regulations and policies for possible changes. Changes to statutes, regulations or regulatory policies, including changes in interpretation or implementation of statutes, regulations or policies, could affect us in substantial and unpredictable ways. Such changes could subject us to additional costs, limit the types of financial services and products we may offerand/or increase the ability of non-banks to offer competing financial services and products, among other things. We expend substantial effort and incur costs to improve our systems, audit capabilities, staffing and training in order to satisfy regulatory requirements, but the regulatory authorities may determine that such efforts are insufficient. Failure to comply with relevant laws, regulations or policies could result in sanctions by regulatory agencies, civil money penaltiesand/or reputation damage, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. While we have policies and procedures designed to prevent any such violations, there can be no assurance that such violations will not occur.
Furthermore, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and the related rules and regulations promulgated by the SECCommission and NASDAQNasdaq that are applicable to us, have increased the scope, complexity and cost of corporate governance, reporting and disclosure practices. As a result, we have experienced, and may continue to experience, greater compliance costs.
 
Severe weather, natural disasters, acts of war or terrorism and other external events could significantly impact our business.
 
Severe weather, natural disasters, acts of war or terrorism and other adverse external events could have a significant impact on our ability to conduct business. Such events could affect the stability of our deposit base, impair the ability of borrowers to repay outstanding loans, impair the value of collateral securing loans, cause significant property damage, result in loss of revenueand/or cause us to incur additional expenses. For example, during 2005,Periodically, hurricanes Katrina and Rita made landfall and subsequentlyhave caused extensive flooding and destruction along the coastal areas of the Gulf of Mexico,Texas, including communities where we conduct business. Operationsbusiness, and our operations in several of our markets wereHouston have been disrupted by both the evacuation of large portions of the population as well as damage and or lack of access to our banking and operation facilities.a minor degree. While the impact of these hurricanes did not significantly affect us, other severe weather or natural disasters, acts of war or terrorism or other adverse external events may occur in the future. Although management has established disaster recovery policies and procedures, the occurrence of any such event could have a material adverse effect on our business, which, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on the our financial condition and results of operations.
 
Our success in attracting and retaining consumer deposits depends on our ability to offer competitive rates and services.
     As of December 2005, approximately 8% of our total deposits came from retail consumer customers through BankDirect, our Internet banking division. The market for Internet banking is extremely competitive and allows retail consumer customers to access financial products and compare interest rates from numerous financial institutions located across the U.S. As a result, Internet retail consumers are more sensitive to interest rate levels than retail consumers who bank at a branch office. Our future success in retaining and attracting retail consumer customers depends, in part, on our ability to offer competitive rates and services.
We could be adversely affected by changes in the regulation of the Internet.
     Our ability to conduct, and the cost of conducting, business may also be adversely affected by a number of legislative and regulatory proposals concerning the Internet, which are currently under consideration by federal, state, local and foreign governmental organizations. The adoption of new laws or the application of existing laws could decrease the growth in the use of the Internet, which could in turn decrease the demand for our services,

6

increase our cost of doing business or otherwise have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, government restrictions on Internet content could slow the growth of Internet use and decrease acceptance of the Internet as a communications and commercial medium and thereby have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Our management maintains significant control over us.
 
Our current executive officers and directors beneficially own approximately 13%slightly more than 10% of the outstanding shares of our common stock.Common Stock. Accordingly, our current executive officers and directors are able to influence, to a significant extent, the outcome of all matters required to be submitted to our stockholdersshareholders for approval (including decisions relating to the election of directors), the determination of day-to-day corporate and management policies and other significant corporate activities.
 
There are substantial regulatory limitations on changes of control.
 
With certain limited exceptions, federal regulations prohibit a person or company or a group of persons deemed to be “acting in concert” from, directly or indirectly, acquiring more than 10% (5% if the acquirer is a bank holding company) of any class of our voting stock or obtaining the ability to control in any manner the election of a majority of our directors or otherwise direct the management or policies of our company without prior notice or application to and the approval of the Board of Governors of Federal Reserve.Reserve System. Accordingly, prospective investors need to be aware of and comply with these requirements, if applicable, in connection with any purchase of the notes or shares of our common stock.Common Stock into which the notes may be converted.
 
Anti-takeover provisions of our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and Delaware law may make it more difficult for you to receive a change in control premium.
 
Certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws could make a merger, tender offer or proxy contest more difficult, even if such events were perceived by many of our stockholdersshareholders as beneficial to their interests. These provisions include advance notice requirements for nominations of directors and stockholders’


8

shareholders’ proposals, and authorizethe authorization of the issuance of “blank check” preferred stock with such designations, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by our board of directors. Although we have no present intention to issue any shares of our preferred stock, there can be no assurance that we will not do so in the future. In addition, as a Delaware corporation, we are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law which, in general, prevents an interested stockholder,shareholder, defined generally as a person owning 15% or more of a corporation’s outstanding voting stock, from engaging in a business combination with our company for three years following the date that person became an interested stockholdershareholder unless certain specified conditions are satisfied.
 
We are subject to claims and litigation pertaining to fiduciary responsibility.
 
From time to time, customers make claims and take legal action pertaining to our performance of our fiduciary responsibilities. Whether customer claims and legal action related to our performance of its fiduciary responsibilities are founded or unfounded, if such claims and legal actions are not resolved in a manner favorable to us they may result in significant financial liabilityand/or adversely affect the market perception of us and our products and services as well as impact customer demand for those products and services. Any financial liability or reputation damage could have a material adverse effect on our business, which, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
 
Our controls and procedures may fail or be circumvented.
 
Management regularly reviews and updates our internal controls, disclosure controls and procedures, and corporate governance policies and procedures. Any system of controls, however well designed and operated, is based in part on certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurances that the objectives of the system are met. Any failure or circumvention of our controls and procedures or failure to comply with regulations related to controls and procedures could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Risks Associated With Our Common Stock
Our stock price can be volatile.New lines of business or new products and services may subject us to additional risks.

From time to time, we may develop and grow new lines of business or offer new products and services within existing lines of business. There are substantial risks and uncertainties associated with these efforts, particularly in instances where the markets are not fully developed. In developing and marketing new lines of businessand/or new products and services we may invest significant time and resources. Initial timetables for the introduction and development of new lines of businessand/or new products or services may not be achieved and price volatilityand profitability targets may make it more difficult for you to resell your common stock when you want and at prices you find attractive. Our stock price can fluctuate significantly in response to a variety ofnot prove feasible. External factors, including, among other things:

•Perceptions in the marketplace regarding us and/or our competitors;
•New technology used, or services offered, by competitors;
•Significant acquisitions or business combinations, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments by or involving us or our competitors;
•Failure to integrate acquisitions or realize anticipated benefits from acquisitions;
•Changes in government regulations; and
•Geopolitical conditions such as acts or threats of terrorism or military conflicts.

 Our common stock is not a bank deposit and, therefore, is not insured against loss by the FDIC, any other deposit insurance fund or by any other public or private entity. Investment in our common stock is inherently risky for the reasons described in this “Risk Factors” section and elsewhere in this report and is subject to the same market forces that affect the price of common stock in any company. As a result, if you acquire our common stock, you may lose some or all of your investment.

Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws as well as certain Delaware and banking laws may have an anti-takeover effect.
     Provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, as well as Delaware General Corporation Law, and federal banking laws, including regulatory approval requirements, could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us, even if doing so would be perceived to be beneficial to our shareholders. The combination of these provisions effectively inhibits a non-negotiated merger or other business combination, which, in turn, could adversely affect the market price of tour common stock.
Risks Associated With Our Industry
We compete in an industry that continually experiences technological change, and we may have fewer resources than many of our competitors to continue to invest in technological improvements.
     The financial services industry is undergoing rapid technological changes, with frequent introductions of new technology-driven products and services which our customers may require. Many of our competitors have substantially greater resources to invest in technological improvements. We may not be able to effectively implement new technology-driven products and services or be successful in marketing these products and services to our customers.
The earnings of financial services companies are significantly affected by general business and economic conditions.
 
Our operations and profitability are impacted by general business and economic conditions in the United States and abroad. These conditions include short-term and long-term interest rates, inflation, money supply, political issues, legislative and regulatory changes, fluctuations in both debt and equity capital markets, broad trends in industry and finance and the strength of the U.S. economy and the local economies in which the we operate, all of which are beyond our control. Deterioration in economic conditions could result in an

increase in loan delinquencies and non-performing assets, decreases in loan collateral values and a decrease in demand for our products and services, among other things, any of which could have a material adverse impact on our results of operation and financial condition.
 
Financial services companies depend on the accuracy and completeness of information about customers and counterparties.
 
In deciding whether to extend credit or enter into other transactions, we may rely on information furnished by or on behalf of customers and counterparties, including financial statements, credit reports and other financial information. We may also rely on representations of those customers, counterparties or other third parties, such as independent auditors, as to the accuracy and completeness of that information. Reliance on inaccurate or misleading financial statements, credit reports or other financial information could have a material adverse impact on our business and, in turn, our results of operation and financial condition.

Many of our competitors have substantially greater resources to invest in technological improvements. We may not be able to effectively implement new technology-driven products and services or be successful in marketing these products and services to our customers.
Consumers and businesses may decide not to use banks to complete their financial transactions.
 
Technology and other changes are allowing parties to complete financial transactions that historically have involved banks through alternative methods. For example, consumers can now maintain funds that would have historically been heldAny reduction in the use of banks as bank deposits in brokerage accounts or mutual funds. Consumers can also complete transactions such as paying bills and/or transferring funds directly without the assistance of banks. The process of eliminating banks asfinancial intermediaries could result in the loss of interest and fee income, as well as the loss of customer deposits and the related income generated from those deposits. The loss by us of these revenue streams and the lower cost deposits as a source of funds could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
Risks related to our Common Stock
Our stock price can be volatile.
Stock price volatility may make it more difficult for you to resell our Common Stock when you want and at prices you find attractive. Our stock price can fluctuate significantly in response to a variety of factors including, among other things:
• actual or anticipated variations in quarterly results of operations;
• recommendations by securities analysts;
• operating and stock price performance of other companies that investors deem comparable to us;
• news reports relating to trends, concerns and other issues in the financial services industry;
• perceptions in the marketplace regarding usand/or our competitors;
• new technology used, or services offered, by competitors;
• significant acquisitions or business combinations, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments by or involving us or our competitors;
• failure to integrate acquisitions or realize anticipated benefits from acquisitions;

• changes in government regulations; and
• geopolitical conditions such as acts or threats of terrorism or military conflicts.
In addition, recently the stock market generally experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. General market fluctuations, industry factors and general economic and political conditions and events, such as economic slowdowns or recessions, interest rate changes or credit loss trends, could also cause our stock price to decrease regardless of operating results.
The trading volume in our Common Stock is less than that of other larger financial services companies.
Although our Common Stock is listed for trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, the trading volume in our Common Stock is less than that of other larger financial services companies. A deep, liquid and orderly public trading market for our Common Stock depends on the presence in the marketplace of willing buyers and sellers of our Common Stock at any given time. This presence depends on the individual decisions of investors and general economic and market conditions over which we have no control. Given the lower trading volume of our Common Stock, significant sales of our Common Stock, or the expectation of these sales, could cause the our stock price to fall.
An investment in our Common Stock is not an insured deposit.
Our Common Stock is not a bank deposit and, therefore, is not insured against loss by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, any other deposit insurance fund or by any other public or private entity. Investment in our Common Stock is inherently risky for the reasons described in this “Risk Factors” section and is subject to the same market forces that affect the price of Common Stock in any company. As a result, if you acquire our Common Stock, you may lose some or all of your investment.
The holders of our junior subordinated debentures have rights that are senior to those of our shareholders.
As of June 30, 2008, we had $113.4 million in junior subordinated debentures outstanding that were issued to our statutory trusts. The trusts purchased the junior subordinated debentures from us using the proceeds from the sale of trust preferred securities to third party investors.

We must make payments on the junior subordinated debentures (and the related trust preferred securities) before any dividends can be paid on our Common Stock and, in the event of our bankruptcy, dissolution or liquidation, the holders of the debentures must be satisfied before any distributions can be made to the holders of our Common Stock. If certain conditions are met, we have the right to defer interest payments on the junior subordinated debentures (and the related trust preferred securities) at any time or from time to time for a period not to exceed 20 consecutive quarters in a deferral period, during which time no dividends may be paid to holders of our Common Stock.
We do not currently pay dividends. Our ability to pay dividends is limited, and we may be unable to pay dividends in the future.
We do not currently pay dividends. Our ability to pay dividends is limited by regulatory restrictions and the need to maintain sufficient consolidated capital. The ability of our Bank to pay dividends to us is limited by the Bank’s regulatory obligations to maintain sufficient capital and by other restrictions on its dividends. If these regulatory requirements are not met, our Bank will not be able to pay dividends to us, and we would be unable to pay dividends on our Common Stock.

Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, dated September 8, 2008, among us and the selling shareholders (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), we agreed to register for resale the common stock received by the selling shareholders in a private placement and to indemnify the selling shareholders against certain liabilities related to the selling of the common stock, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (“Securities Act”). In December 2005,Act.

As a result, we may have failed to comply with the registration or qualification requirements of the federal securities law.
     The 16,361 shares represent less than one-tenth of one percent of the 25,638,219 shares of common stock outstanding at June 30, 2005.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
 Due
The shares covered by this prospectus may be offered and sold from time to time by the selling shareholders. The term “selling shareholders” includes those persons and entities listed on pages 13 and 14 of this prospectus and certain permitted transferees to whom such persons and entities may transfer the shares, including (i) transferees who are investment advisory clients, affiliates, subsidiaries or parent companies, family members or family trust for the benefit of such persons or entities, (ii) transferees who share a numbercommon discretionary investment advisor with such persons or entities, or (iii) transferees who are partners or members of factors includingsuch persons or entities, as the small numbercase may be, who agree to act through a single representative. The selling shareholders will act independently of shares soldus in excess of those authorized by our ESPP, the number of shares sold as comparedmaking decisions with respect to the total amounttiming, manner and size of common stock outstanding,each sale. Such sales may be made on one or more exchanges or in the number of shares sold as comparedover-the-counter market or otherwise, at prices and under terms then prevailing or at prices related to the total amount of common stock subject to plans that had been approved by our stockholders, and sale of the excess shares for 85% of the then current market price of the common stock, we determined that the sale of these shares was not a material event.
     Following the discovery of the accidental sale of shares in excess of those authorized by our ESPP, our board of directors terminated our ESPP on December 30, 2005. After June 30, 2005, no shares were sold pursuant to the 2000 Plan.
     This offer is being made to persons that purchased common stock from our ESPP on June 30, 2005, which we refer to as the “Offering Date.” We used the proceeds from these sales for general corporate purposes. Up to 155 of our stockholders will receive the rescission offer. Our current executive officers and directors did who participated in the ESPP will not participate in the rescission offer.
     Our Board of Directors has approved this rescission offer in order to limit any contingent liability we may have as a result of possible noncompliance with applicable federal registration requirements in connection with the offer or sale of common stock from our ESPP. Generally, the statute of limitations for non-compliance with the requirement to register securities under the Securities Act is one year. By making this rescission offer, we are not waiving any applicable statutes of limitations.
Rescission Offer and Price
     Because the sale of our common stock through the ESPP, as described above, may not have complied with the federal securities laws the purchasers of those shares may be able to assert claims against us. In an effort to reduce the risk of claims being made against us in the future or if made, the amount of potential liability, we are offering to rescind the purchase of these shares. Our rescission offer is not a waiver by us of any valid defenses to a claim that we violated the federal securities laws. If our rescission offer is accepted in full, the aggregate purchase price, excluding interest, is estimated to be approximately $18.38. In the event the rescission offer is accepted in full or in part, we do not believe our business or financial condition would be materially adversely affected. In addition, we do not believe acceptance would have a material impact on the market value of our remaining securities.
     If you continue to hold shares subject to this rescission offer, and you accept our rescission offer, we will repurchase the shares at the initial price per share paid, plus interest at the current statutory rate per year, from the

10

date of purchase through the date the rescission offer expires. Interest will accrue on a monthly basis.negotiated transactions. The legal rates of interest for the repurchase of shares will be based on your state of residence when you purchased your shares. These rates are as follows:
State (Interest Rate):
Arizona (10%)
Connecticut (6%)
Mississippi (6%)
Nevada (12%)
Tennessee (10%)
Texas (8%)
Utah (12%)
     If you sold the shares subject to this rescission offer at a loss, and accept our rescission offer, we will pay an amount equal to the initial price paid per share, less the proceeds from the sale of such shares, plus interest at the current statutory rate per year, from the date of purchase through the date the rescission offer expires. For eligible shares sold prior to this rescission offer, interest will be paid on (i) the amount originally paid for the shares from the date of purchase until the date of sale, and (ii) on the loss realized from the date of sale through the date the rescission offer expires. In both situations, interest will accrue on a monthly basis. The repurchase price for shares subject to this rescission offer is $18.38 per share for purchases made on June 30, 2005.
     Federal law does not mandate that interest be paid in this rescission offer nor does it provide a specific interest rate to be used in this regard. However, most states require interest be paid in connection with offerings comparable to our rescission offer at defined statutory rates.
     The above discussion relates primarily to your potential rescission rights and does not address in detail the antifraud provisions of applicable federal securities laws or rights under state securities laws, common law or equity. The purchases subject to this rescission offer were made by residents of Arizona, Connecticut, Mississippi, Nevada, Tennessee, Texas and Utah. We believe that all sales of shares of our common stock which are the subject of this rescission offer were exempt from registration or qualification under the laws of such states and that no violation of state securities laws occurred in connection with such sales. Furthermore, we believe that this rescission offer is exempt from registration under the laws of such states and thus need not comply with the laws of such states regulating such offers. Thus, we do not make any representation as to the compliance of this rescission offer with state law. However, under state law, acceptance or rejection of the rescission offer may preclude you from maintaining an action against us in connection with the shares of common stock purchased at the Offering Date. You may wish to consult with an attorney regarding all of your legal rights and remedies before deciding whether or not to accept the rescission offer.
     While no assurance can be given as to the level at which the common stock will trade in the future, persons entitled to our rescission offer should consider that on October [___], 2006, the closing sale price for our common stock was more than $18.38 per share. Persons entitled to our rescission offer are urged to obtain current quotations of the market price of our common stock on The Nasdaq National Market, under the symbol, “TCBI.”
     Based upon the per share price of shares purchased through the ESPP since June 30, 2005, the payment to be received with respect to all shares subject to rescission would be less than $[___] per share (the last sale price of our common stock as reported by The Nasdaq National Market on October [___], 2006). As a result, current holders of the sharesselling shareholders may sell their shares inby one or more of, or a combination of, the open market at prices higher than the price we are offering to pay in this rescission offer and we therefore expect that many recipients of this offer will not elect rescission.

Effect of Rescission Offer
     We believe that your acceptance of the rescission offer will, under general theories of estoppel, preclude you from later seeking similar relief, and we are unawarecompensation of any federal case law to the contrary. Accordingly, we urge you to consult with an attorney regarding all of your legal rights and remedies before deciding whether or not to accept the rescission offer.

In addition, the shares subject to the rescission offer held by persons who affirmatively reject or fail to accept the rescission offer before the expiration date of the offer will, for purposes of applicable federal securities law, be registered securities as of the expiration date of the rescission offer and, unless held by persons whobroker-dealer may be deemed to be “affiliates”underwriting discounts and commissions. Selling shareholders and broker-dealers who execute sales for selling shareholders who are “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.
In order to comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, the shares must be sold in such jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, some states may restrict the selling shareholders from selling their shares unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.
We have advised the selling shareholders that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities of the selling shareholders and their affiliates. In addition, we will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling shareholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The selling shareholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
At the time a particular offer of shares is made, if required, a prospectus supplement will be distributed that will set forth the number of shares being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name of any underwriter, dealer or agent, the purchase price paid by any underwriter, any discount, commission and other item constituting compensation, any discount, commission or concession allowed or reallowed or paid to any dealer, and the proposed selling price to the public.
To the extent required, this prospectus may be amended or supplemented from time to time to describe a specific plan of distribution.
We have agreed to indemnify the selling shareholders against certain liabilities, including certain liabilities under the Securities Act.
We have agreed with the selling shareholders to keep the Registration Statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which all shares covered by this prospectus have been sold or shall have otherwise ceased to be covered by this prospectus and (ii) the date on which all remaining shares covered by this prospectus may be sold pursuant to Rule 144(c)(1) and otherwise without restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144 (or any successor thereto) under the Securities Act, after taking into account any holders’ possible status as an “affiliate” of ours as determined by our counsel pursuant to a written opinion letter addressed to our transfer agent to such effect (provided at least 12 months have lapsed since shares covered by this prospectus were acquired from us as calculated in accordance with Rule 144).
Once sold under the shelf registration statement for which this prospectus is a part, the shares of Common Stock will be freely tradable in the public market at such time. Those shares held byhands of persons other than our affiliates will be subject to certain restrictions on resale as explained in Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933.affiliates.
LEGAL MATTERS
 It is unclear whether the rescission offer will terminate our liability, if any, for failure to register the issuance
The validity of the shares that are subject to the rescission offer with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act. The staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission takes the position that a person’s federal right of rescission may survive the rescission offer. Nevertheless, there have been certain instances in which a court has held that non-acceptance of a rescission offer terminated a company’s liability for rescission damages under federal law. Each person is urged to consider this possibility with respect to our rescission offer. Generally, the statute of limitation for non-compliance with the requirement to register securities under the Securities Act is one year.
Funding of the Rescission Offer
     The rescission offer will be funded from our existing cash balances. If all persons eligible to participate accept our offer to repurchase common stock to the full extent, our results of operations, cash balances or financial condition will not be materially adversely affected.
Use of Common Stock Repurchasedbeing offered by the selling shareholders in our Rescission Offer
     The shares of our common stock purchased by us pursuant to our rescission offer, if any, will become treasury shares, andthis offering will be available for usepassed upon by us pursuant to our ESPP or general corporate purposes.Patton Boggs LLP, Dallas, Texas.

     In addition, this discussion does not address the U.S. federal income tax consequences of participating in our rescission offer if you are subject to special U.S. federal income tax rules, including if (a) you are not a “U.S. person” (e.g., you are a non-resident alien), (b) you are liable for the alternative minimum tax, (c) you are not an individual, (d) you own our shares as part of a straddle, hedging transaction, conversion transaction, constructive sale, or other arrangement involving more than one position, or (e) you hold our shares other than as a capital asset.
Authorities
     This discussion is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), Treasury Regulations, published IRS rulings, published administrative positions of the IRS, and U.S. court decisions that are applicable and, in each case, in effect and available, as of the date of this document. Any of the authorities on which this discussion is based could be changed in a material and adverse manner at any time, and any such change could be applied on a retroactive basis. This discussion does not discuss the potential effects, whether adverse or beneficial, of any proposed legislation that, if enacted, could be applied on a retroactive basis.
Treatment as Taxable Redemption
     For U.S. federal income tax purposes, we intend to treat the purchase of our shares pursuant to our rescission offer as a taxable redemption, with the redemption price being equal to the full amount of cash paid to you (i.e., the sum of the price per share you paid for our shares plus interest). However, the IRS may take the position that the redemption price should be equal only to the price per share you paid for our shares. In that event, the portion of the redemption price in excess of the price per share you paid for our shares would be taxable as ordinary interest income to you.
Non-Disqualifying Disposition
     Assuming that your sale of our shares pursuant to our rescission offer does not constitute a “disqualifying disposition” (as discussed below), you should recognize ordinary compensation income in an amount equal to the lesser of (a) the excess of the fair market value of our shares on the date you were granted the right to purchase our shares over the purchase price you paid for our shares or (b) the excess of the redemption price paid in our rescission offer over the purchase price you paid for our shares. In addition, assuming that one or more of the Section 302(b) Tests (as defined below) is satisfied, you should recognize long-term gain in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the redemption price paid in our rescission offer over (b) the sum of the purchase price you paid for our shares plus the ordinary compensation income you recognize under the preceding sentence.
     Under Section 302(b) of the Code, your sale of our shares pursuant to our rescission offer should be treated as a “sale or exchange” by you (rather than as a distribution by us, as discussed below) if the sale (a)

14

results in a complete termination of your interest in us, (b) is substantially disproportionate, or (c) is not essentially equivalent to a dividend (the “Section 302(b) Tests”).
• Your sale of our shares pursuant to our rescission offer should result in a “complete termination” of your interest in us if, pursuant to our rescission offer, either (a) we purchase all of our shares that you actually and constructively own or (b) we purchase all of our shares that you actually own and, with respect to any constructively owned shares, you are eligible to waive (and effectively waive) constructive ownership under the procedures described in Section 302(c)(2) of the Code.
• Your sale of our shares pursuant to our rescission offer should qualify as “substantially disproportionate” if (a) your percentage ownership of our voting shares immediately after the sale is less than 80 percent of your percentage ownership of our voting shares immediately before the sale, (b) your percentage ownership of our common stock (whether voting or non-voting) immediately after the sale is less than 80 percent of your percentage ownership of our common stock immediately before the sale, and (c) you own less than 50 percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of our shares immediately after the sale.
• Your sale of our shares pursuant to our rescission offer should qualify as “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” if you experience a “meaningful reduction” in the your proportionate interest in us as a result of the sale, which will depend on your individual facts and circumstances.
     In applying each of the Section 302(b) Tests, you must take into account both shares actually owned by you and any shares considered as owned by you under certain constructive ownership rules set forth in Section 318 of the Code. Under these constructive ownership rules, you generally should be considered to own (a) shares that you have the right to acquire by the exercise of an option or warrant, (b) shares owned by certain of your family members, and (c) shares owned by certain entities (such as corporations, partnerships, trusts, and estates) in which you own an interest or are a beneficiary. You should consult your own financial advisor, legal counsel, or accountant regarding the Section 302(b) Tests and the constructive ownership rules of Section 318 of the Code.
     If your sale of our shares pursuant to our rescission offer does not satisfy any of the Section 302(b) Tests, you should be treated as having received a distribution from us in an amount equal to the redemption price paid to you (without any reduction for the tax basis of our shares that you sold). Such distribution should be taxable as a dividend to the extent of our current or accumulated “earnings and profits.” To the extent that such distribution exceeds our current and accumulated “earnings and profits,” such distribution (a) should first be treated as a tax-free return of capital to the extent of your tax basis in our shares and, (b) thereafter, should be treated as gain from the sale or exchange of our shares. A dividend generally should be taxed at the same preferential tax rates applicable to long-term capital gains.
Disqualifying Disposition
     A disposition of our shares should be treated as a “disqualifying disposition” if such disposition occurs prior to (a) two years after the date you were granted the right to purchase our shares or (b) one year after the date you purchased our shares.
     If your sale of our shares pursuant to our rescission offer constitutes a disqualifying disposition, you should recognize ordinary compensation income in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the fair market value of our shares on the date you purchased our shares over (b) the purchase price you paid for our shares. This amount should be recognized as ordinary compensation income by you, even if the fair market value of our shares on the date you purchased our shares exceeds the redemption price paid in our rescission offer. In addition, assuming that one or more of the Section 302(b) Tests discussed above is satisfied, you should recognize gain (or loss) in an amount equal to the excess (or deficiency), if any, of (a) the redemption price paid in our rescission offer over (b) the fair market value of our shares on the date you purchased our shares. A capital gain (or loss) will be long-term or short-term, depending on whether you held our shares for more than one year after the date you purchased our shares.

15

No Legal Opinion or IRS Ruling
     No legal opinion from U.S. legal counsel or ruling from the IRS has been requested, or will be obtained, regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of our rescission offer. This discussion is not binding on the IRS, and the IRS is not precluded from taking a position that is different from, and contrary to, the positions taken in this discussion. In addition, because the authorities on which this discussion is based are subject to various interpretations, the IRS and the U.S. courts could disagree with one or more of the positions taken in this discussion.
Backup Withholding
     Under the U.S. federal income tax backup withholding rules, 28% of the gross proceeds payable to a person pursuant to our rescission offer must be withheld and remitted to the United States Treasury unless you (i) are an exempt recipient and, if required, establish your right to an exemption or (ii) provide your taxpayer identification number, certify that you are not currently subject to backup withholding, and otherwise comply with applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules. You may generally avoid backup withholding by furnishing a completed Substitute Form W-9 included as part of the election form. Backup withholding is not an additional tax; any amount withheld under these rules will be creditable against your U.S. federal income tax liability, and you may be entitled to a refund provided the required information is furnished to the IRS.
THE PRECEDING DISCUSSION IS INTENDED ONLY AS A SUMMARY OF CERTAIN MATERIAL UNITED STATES INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF ACCEPTING THE RESCISSION OFFER AND DOES NOT PURPORT TO BE A COMPLETE ANALYSIS OR DISCUSSION OF ALL POTENTIALLY RELEVANT TAX EFFECTS. TEXAS CAPITAL BANCSHRES, INC. STOCKHOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE RESCISSION OFFER, INCLUDING TAX RETURN REPORTING REQUIREMENTS, THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF FOREIGN, FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, AND OTHER APPLICABLE TAX LAWS AND THE EFFECT OF ANY PROPOSED CHANGES IN THE TAX LAWS.

Item 15. Indemnification of Officers and Directors
 
Item 15.Indemnification of Officers and Directors
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits indemnification of officers, directors, and other corporate agents under certain circumstances and subject to certain limitations. Our restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws provide that we shall indemnify our directors, officers, employees, and agents to the full extent permitted by Delaware law. The restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws further provide that we may indemnify directors, officers, employees, and agents in circumstances in which indemnification is otherwise discretionary under Delaware law. In addition, we entered into separate indemnification agreements with our directors and officers which would require us, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities which may arise by reason of their status or service (other than liabilities arising from wilfulwillful misconduct of a culpable nature) and to maintain directors’ and officer’s liability insurance, if available on reasonable terms.
 
These indemnification provisions and the indemnification agreements that we have entered into with our officers and directors may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of our officers and directors for liabilities (including reimbursement of expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
 
We have a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance that insures our directors and officers against the cost of defence,defense, settlement or payment of a judgment under certain circumstances.
 At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors, officers, employees or other agents in which indemnification is being sought. We are not aware of any threatened litigation that may result in a claim for indemnification by any of our directors, officers, employees or other agents.

Item 17.  Undertakings
 
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
 
(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.
Provided, however, Thatthat paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(ii) above shall(iii) do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8, or Form F-3, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.
 
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4) That, for purposes of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:
(i) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date of the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
(ii) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5) or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii) or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at the date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which the prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initialbona fideoffering thereof.Provided,however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the

20
II-2

registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, each filing of the annual report of the registrant pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of the securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
Insofar as indemnification by the registrant for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is therefore unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defencedefense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered hereunder, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
